Happy Trees - More Christmas Madness!

[Cetti]

Where we live we now have Happy Trees, not Christmas Trees.....and I really thought things couldn't get any dafter.

Any thoughts - or perhaps even sillier pc nonsense?

[Everhelpful]

What makes me wonder is who listens to these no-life PC people? My Kids can't even sing Baa-Baa- Black Sheep at School anymore.!! Why don't we Brits rebel and say other Faiths customs in this Country offend us? Or would that not be Politically Correct.!!

One day we are going to be aliens in our own country, why the hell we pander to these stupid ideas is beyond annoying, i am not all for integration, but not at the cost of our own traditions

I don't know, but one time when I voiced my opinion about this stuff, AB deleted my answer!!! This time all I am going to say is that this old lady is going to draw her PC line in the sand - I have just had more than enough of the insanity!!! When you are no longer free to celebrate Christmas the way you choose to - that is where I have to draw the line. Your country and mine too are totally out of control with this stuff!!!

[Cetti]

What is even worse, other faiths are as offended as we are. They think (and rightly so) that our leaders are a load of wet nellies who are just pandering to the minority and the loony left. I wonder if we have more in this country than you do BBWCHATT - or do they perhaps just make more noise?

Oliver Cromwell banned Christmas in the 17th century, and apparently it's still on the statute books that eating mince pies is illegal.

At last people at the highest levels are starting to speak out agains't this PC tripe. The Archbishops of Canterbury and York have both spoken about how PC is undermining the Chistian faith of this Country, well done to them, at least they had the backbone to say what most people are thinking.

It's politicaly incorrect to say Xmas light's now. In order not to offend it's "Happy Light's". Our country does'nt belong to us anymore:-(

Seems like the Yogurt knitters, are keeping their heads down on this one.

[rogerr]

So will we have to say Happy Happy to people at Christmas?
And will Father Christmas be called Person Happy?
And Christmas cake will be Happy cake---but I think that stands for something rather different!

[JoolsTwo]

I don't know about - One Day - boobesque we are already aliens in our own country. I think it is time for a revolution. :-)

[Cetti]

I don't think any of us are exactly candidates for Happy People, are we?

Come the Revolution.....we will rebel.....

The killjoy brigade are, I think, using other 'minority' faiths to impose their own prejudices upon us. As Cetti has said, people from other faiths think it is as silly and offensive as we do. (And I am quite happy for people of other faiths to celebrate their festivals, even in public if that's appropriate. Especially if there's food involved, and I'm offered some.)

This is coming from people who hate all religion and want everything to be as bland as possible.
